Brad told me that ALL cores are supposed to be the exact same weight, that is their goal for consistency. They make a bunch of cores at a time that are the same weight then add the over-mold for the type of disc they want to produce.

Give or take a gram the cores are the same.

Putter cores are same
Midrange cores are same
Fairway cores are same

Over-mold is what decides final weight.

From my communication with Brad this is fact.

Thank you for sharing this little tid-bit of MVP manufacturing. I figured the cores were different weights and the overmold was constant. But, it's the other way around.

Now, here's the question. Have they run a light core?

For example:

Would an utra-light core on a Vector with a normal weight overmold produce a disc that flies anything like a Vector should? Perhaps not. What if, by way of making an ultra-light core, they essentially produce a new disc?

Maybe we could see 150 class mids and drivers, with known flight differences, BUT with the same consistency MVP is known for, in their respective weight classes.

Or maybe...they've already thought of all this and it's on the drawing board?

One can only dream.

From what I remember reading the core plastic has no weighting agent in it. So to make a lighter core they would need to use different plastic or add bubbles(blizzard) to get the weight lower.
